  <description><![CDATA[The 5,125-yearlong Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012, which many claim portends a massive global transformation. Some dread its arrival, believing it will be the beginning of the end. Others await it with delicious anticipation, expecting it to be the catalyst for a quantum leap of consciousness, the dawning of a true New Age.<br/> <br/> Others wonder if anything at all will occur--remember Y2K?<br/> <br/> <strong>2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning?</strong> examines all of the  popular myths, prophecies, and predictions circulating about 2012,  including the Mayan teachings of time acceleration and global awakening on a consciousness level. Furthermore it takes an in-depth look at  lesser-known predictions and prophecies, and at the more scientific  and reality-based challenges we will face.<br/> <br/> Some of the questions this book explores include:<br/> <br/><p>*	Will cosmic and earthly chaos disrupt our lives with destructive sunspot cycles, volcanic super-eruptions, monster storms, mass extinctions, and asteroid threats?<br/> <br/><p>*	Will huge leaps in technology create bionic humans, computers that think, and an end to all disease--possibly even death itself?<br/> <br/><p>*	Will economic and geopolitical powers shift out of the West and into the &quot;the New Eurasia,&quot; with new wars being fought over dwindling resources as global warming takes its toll?<br/> <br/><p>*	Will this be the evolution revolution of human consciousness--or  the final countdown that leads to Armageddon itself?<br/> <br/>  <p>*	Will it be the apocalypse so many have feared--or the rebirth of the world and the transformation of humanity?<br/> <br/> There is much, much more to the 2012 enigma than just an ancient  calendar, and <strong>2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning?</strong> will prove it.</p></p></p></p></p>]]></description>
